STORAGE AFTER USE

WARNING: DISCONNECT PTO DRIVE SHAFT AND HYDRAULIC HOSES BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING, OR SERVICING THIS MA- CHINE. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERI- OUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Before storing this spreader for an extended period of time perform the following:

Allow the spreader to completely clean out the last load. Thoroughly hose off all manure from the outside of the spreader and the inside of the box, particularly getting the flow control rear gate mechanism clean. The wash water can be drained into your manure storage pit, or if the gate is left closed, the water can be spread on the field. After cleaning, completely lubricate the entire spreader to exclude moisture from bearings and to pre- vent condensation from forming during storage. See “Lubrication” pages 20 and 21.

Oil the roller chains by running the spreader at idle speed while opening the rear gate to activate the auto- matic oiler system. It is also a good time to inspect all ad- justments and check for parts that need repair or replacement. Performing these tasks now will guaran- tee that the spreader is ready for use at the beginning of the next season.
